Trump shooting - odd? Staged?

I apologize if you are vision-impaired
20/20 vision here so no need for apologies.

We are eight days out and there is neither a medical report nor any attending physician's statement regarding Trump's "wound". That is likely because he received no treatment whatsoever.
Because that's information from a personal medical record, that's why. If he doesn't want to disclose it that's his prerogative. Maybe he's chosen not to make that public so he can play games with people like you. Because let's face it, he does have that kind of childish mentality.

Hope your vision improves as well as your connection with reality.
Something about people in glass houses.

That significant skepticism is entirely absent in the corporate media coverage and here, a site that until this morning I had never heard of. From the responses I've received so far, that's no surprise.
Oh you should definitely stick around

His right hand is not "covered with blood" in this photo as he stated at the GOP/RICO convention. And his "wound" hardly "bled" at all, something that is very atypical for any head wound, something I am very familiar with. In addition, the two red streaks on his face show what appears to be a three inch gap between them and his ear, something else that would not have happened with a real ear wound which would have gushed blood. (Real head wounds are notoriously "gushy".)

Show me the hospital report and the attending physicians' press conference. Oh wait, you can't because there is no "there" there. That's why, in addition to the one in eight Trump voters who believe correctly that this was staged, one in three Biden voters believe the same thing, with "undecided"s falling between them. That significant skepticism is entirely absent in the corporate media coverage and here, a site that until this morning I had never heard of. From the responses I've received so far, that's no surprise.

Here's another photo showing an intact ear, almost no "blood" anywhere (when a real wound would still be bleeding profusely) and a spotless right hand and white shirt. So glad my eyes don't lie. You?

There are several photos showing blood on Trump's hand.

And as explained before, the blood didn't drip on his shirt because it dripped down his face as his head was down.

I apologize if you are vision-impaired but the photo is not blurry and neither Trump's hand nor his white shirt have a drop of blood on them. As for the shooter (who appears to have been recruited by BlackRock), he was good enough to hit anything and everything except Trump, including the shattered teleprompter screen that is now claimed as the cause for Trump's now Maxipad-less invisible injury. At that distance, even a PA granny woman with poor vision could have done that.

We are eight days out and there is neither a medical report nor any attending physician's statement regarding Trump's "wound". That is likely because he received no treatment whatsoever. A wet washcloth was likely all it took to make things right. After all, theatrical "blood" is meant to come off easily.

Hope your vision improves as well as your connection with reality. These days, with all of the corporate media falling in line, I know how challenging that must be. It's not challenging to the one in eight Trump voters who believe the incident was staged, according to a Newsweek poll shortly after the tail wagging.

Sorry but it's going to take a lot more than your "spidey sense" and a blurry photograph to convince me this was staged. Are you seriously suggesting Trump would position himself centre stage in the knowledge that a random 20 year-old kitchen porter was about to fire a round in his direction?

I'm waiting for someone to awaken our corporate media but I'm not holding my breath.
If you shout 'wake up sheeple' a bit louder they might hear you.

First off, it's spelled "explanation" but thanks for letting me know who I'm responding to. The official story has changed from Trump being hit by a bullet to him being hit by a shard of plastic. In truth, I believe the only thing that hit Trump's ear was a handful of theatrical "blood", no doubt provided by his buddies in the pro wrestling clown show. And in addition to your misspelling and your unawareness of the revised story about what "hit" Trump, you are also wrong about the collateral damage. Four people were shot, two of them killed and two of them severely wounded and none of them was named Trump.

Here's the photo of his "bloody right hand" less than two minutes after he was "shot". Only one problem -- the hand and his white shirt were both spotless.

This is just conspiricy bullshit - he was shot in the ear, a bystander was shot, two wounded and the gunman was shot dead. Any other explination is pure fantasy.

Real bullets were fired in the direction of Donald Trump. We can see where they hit, and the people who were injured and the person that they killed. Are you suggesting that a staged assassination attempt involved firing real bullets in the direction of Trump? Why not a shooter who was on the brink of firing but was overcome at the last minute?

Re: blood - it didn't drip on his shirt, but you can see where it dripped down his face. He clearly had his head forward.

There seem to have been many failings on the part of the security services, but that doesn't mean that it was staged.

Yes it was staged. Nothing was normal about the abysmal lack of basic security or the Secret Service response before and after. Trump said in his convention speech that his right hand was covered with blood after he touched his ear and that there was blood everywhere but when, during his first photo op immediately after the tail wagged the dog when he waved his right hand to the crowd, neither it nor his white shirt had a drop of blood on them -- they were spotless.

We are now eight days after the wagging and still no medical report or attending physician press conference, very likely because he was not taken to any hospital. Now we have the "authorities" changing the story to say Trump was not hit by an AR-15 round (which would have taken his ear clean off) but instead was hit by a plastic shard from a teleprompter that was hit. He is now no longer wearing a Maxipad on his ear and no wound is visible. I could go on and on, but I won't. I'm waiting for someone to awaken our corporate media but I'm not holding my breath.

And BTW, I spent four decades investigating incidents in the field as a public health epidemiologist for CDC, several state health departments and seven American Indian tribes so I have a well developed spidey sense re: such matters. Trump was willing to sacrifice his supporters for this charade but then he was willing to sacrifice hundreds of thousands of Americans when he delayed our response to COVID and encouraged folks to mainline bleach. I would put nothing past him and the Russian oilgarchs who pull his chain -- nothing.

Enough of this 'it was staged' nonsense....

I am not a fan of Trump to say the least but someone in the audience lost their life and the perpetrator was killed and he has a family too who must be in complete turmoil.

It really is disrespectful to go on about how this was staged.

Trump's reaction matches is usual showmanship.

🏆 here you go for being literally the world's worst conspiracy theorist OP.

Oh come off it. Starting a thread about the shooting maybe being staged when you supposedly haven't even watched the footage. Over a week after the shooting. What exactly are you trying to achieve?

This!!!

A man in the audience died. I think that’s enough to show it wasn’t staged.

Sadly I think people in the USA have become accustomed to shooting incidents, and everyone has training about what to do, get down on the ground etc so I think the audience reaction was different to what it would be for something like this in the UK.

The BBC reporter right afterwards was on the ground behind his car, obviously following their H&S guidelines and people were milling about in the background but I think it’s because sadly they’re kind of used to firearms incidents.

The shooter also had a car full of explosives. If the event was a staged assassination attempt on Donald Trump, why would he have a car full of explosives?

I must admit when I saw the footage my first thought was that it looked very staged. The audience was just so calm. But I can't believe even Trump would do that.

I don't think it was staged. I think Trump was just switched on enough to rise to the occasion and show strength to make him look good. I suspect this was effective.

I don't like the talk around how God spared him in the wake of the deaths of others God obviously didn't choose to spare. That's just a horrible thing for the family of those who did die.

I’m keeping an open mind, and there’s not yet much enough evidence to suggest this was staged.

However, I am very much of the view that lots of big things like this are not as they seem, and if it emerges later that it was staged, I will not be at all surprised.

I see OP has managed to find two minutes to watch the footage now, probably took less time than the post did.

Ridiculous post

Im glad trump is ok but not surprised someone tried to assassinate him,theres always some nutjob thinking they will get famous off the back of something like this..as for his reaction..pure adrenaline i think..shows him to be strong and i think he will win and i hope he does

I doubt Trump is religious. He knows his supporters are though. That's why he is suddenly ultra religious and anti abortion, despite his many affairs, illegitimate children, paying for abortions etc. He was incredibly lucky. More like the luck of the Devil, if you believe in such things, otherwise God has saved Trump but couldn't care less about a man ŵho was shielding his wife and young daughters.

I haven't seen the footage.
Is this a new version of 'please excuse my ignorance but..'?

This is obviously some kind of slow burn before you unleash some mad conspiracy theories.

What on earth would make you think you’ve got any place to comment on something you’d not even taken two minutes to watch beforehand, don’t be so utterly ridiculous.

I am not a supporter or religious but Trump slightly turned his head maybe not even a second before the bullet hit and it would have killed him otherwise. I’d call it incredible luck to survive and many people who are religious often see things that I believe are incredible luck as God’s will.
